I used JAPI many years rewrote some parts for FreeBASIC and Basic4GL and I got 1500 FPS.

You might be pleased to know that the examples all ran even on my old computer. :-)

I just downloaded the new version, it seems to be working fine. I'm quite surprised at how fast and responsive the examples are.

I just created an executable of one of the examples by typing the following...

scriba -o mandel.exe -E mandel.bas

When I execute the example a Command Prompt window appears in the background while it's running. Is there a way of creating an exe without having the Prompt appearing?

Ah, I discovered the thread on your forum about scribaw, which described what I needed. :-)

Are you still developing the Windows version of IUP?

Hello John, first of all
years ago JAPI was more popular in environment of universities.

The GUI was visible on simple terminals but the main program self was running on fast servers e.g. for number crunching.

If a picture or any kind of datas may be generated by a complex simulation it was transvered via network to the Terminal.

One runnng JAPI GUI server can deal with more than one terminal.
Every connection has it's own ID. (I'm sure you saw it while you rebuild the JAVA part for JAPI 2.0)
It does not matter whether you establish a connection via the local network or over the Internet.

I self build a special JAPI version for FreeBASIC.
The main feature was the user don't need a installed Java Runtime Environment.

By the way don't use the JDK 7 for your JAPI 2.0.
Since JAVA was acquired by Oracle there were more and more security issues found.
This is the point why the current JAVA version are disabled in some web browsers by default
and many people don't like to install the current JRE.
By the way the current JDK has trouble with OpenGL in applets too.

How ever you should use a 6.x JDK for a fresh rebuild.

But that's just my personal opinion.
